Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. today announced that it has received a contract from Lockheed Martin to provide the Turret Drive Servo System (TDSS) for use in the U.K.’s Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme. Curtiss-Wright’s TDSS provides weapon stabilization for the Warrior combat vehicle, which will extend the British Army’s Fighting Vehicle Capability for at least 20 more years.

“Curtiss-Wright is proud to provide our industry leading, military vehicle rugged drive system for application in the U.K. Ministry of Defence’s Warrior vehicle,” said Tom Quinly, president of Curtiss-Wright Controls.

Curtiss-Wright will provide Lockheed Martin UK AMPTHILL Limited with the TDSS, which is designed, developed and manufactured at the Curtiss-Wright Controls Drive Technology facility located in Neuhausen, Switzerland.

The Warrior is an upgraded, medium-weight infantry fighting vehicle designed for deployment on rapid intervention, enduring peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations, and for support to high intensity, major combat operations.
